Shelly POV: I get up off my sleep to the sound of my alarm. Damn. I want to sleep more. I sat up on my bed and yawned. I sat on the bed with my eyes closed for five minutes then I get up and go to washroom. I do my morning business then go to kitchen to make breakfast. I glanced at the wall clock and see that it's six in the morning. I make the breakfast then I go to Shaina room. When I get in her room I see ,she's already awake. Aww my sweet Gemstone . She looked at me and smile. "Morning mamma" she said in her sleepy state. I go to her and take her in my lap. Then I kissed her on her head.
Shelly POV:I dressed up hurredily when Brenda came in and told me that Spencer is here. When I came out from my room I looked at him sitting on the carpet with my Gemstone and playing tea party with her. He has a big smile on his face and chat with her happily in child like voice. She laughed at him when he make a face or complain about the tea that it's not good.I tell him he doesn't have to do that. But he says it's okay he likes Shaina and playing with her. Then I say goodbye to Shaina and Brenda. I told Brenda that if she need anything then she can call me anytime.Then we left in his car to the club. The club name is morte.

Shelly POV:so many things are happening in my life. I just feel so confused. I just want to live my life with my daughter. BUT no. God has other plans that's why this is happening to me because I can't control my feelings towards someone. Certain someone.When I walk out from the club I goes to my home. On my way back to home my phone rings continuously. Just when I got home and sat down the sofa doorbell rang.I furrowed my eyes that who could be on this time. I get up then open the door. Their stood the man that I don't want to see at that moment. But how could he get here so fast. We stared at each other.He scanned me from up to down then looked at my face." why are you come back without me" he asked.I ju
---Shelly POVThe words hung in the air between us, heavy and heart-stopping."I like you."I opened my mouth to respond, but the words were caught somewhere in my throat. Spencer’s gray eyes were fixed on me, so full of sincerity and vulnerability that I had to look away. My heart pounded like a drum, loud enough for me to wonder if he could hear it too. I had to say something—anything. But how could I, when my feelings were just as tangled and chaotic as my thoughts?“I…” I started, but before I could form a coherent sentence, the sound of a soft knock on my door interrupted us.I froze.Spencer’s hands were still cradling my face, and his lips were so close I could feel his breath on my skin. He seemed to realize the intrusion at the same time as I did because he reluctantly let go and stepped back, though his gaze never left mine.“Shelly? Are you awake?” Dolly’s voice called out softly from behind the door.My heart sank. Of all the times for her to check on me, it had to be now

Shelly POVThe next morning arrived too quickly. Sleep had evaded me for most of the night as Spencer’s words echoed in my mind: “You’re the one I want, Shelly.”I sighed, dragging myself out of bed. Shaina had an important day ahead—her orientation at the new school—and I couldn’t afford to let my restless thoughts affect her. For her sake, I needed to pull myself together.By the time I walked into the kitchen, Shaina was already there, sitting at the counter with a bowl of cereal. Her small feet swung back and forth under the stool, and her face lit up when she saw me.“Morning, Mom!” she chirped.“Good morning, sweetheart.” I kissed the top of her head, marveling at how she always seemed to bring light into my world, no matter how chaotic it got. “Excited for today?”“Yeah! I hope they have a cool playground,” she said with a wide grin.Dolly breezed into the kitchen behind me, coffee mug in hand. “You’re going to love it, Shaina. It’s one of the best schools in the area,” she sai
The days unfolded with a surprising calm. Shelly’s days were split between work, legal meetings, and parenting, but for the first time in years, she felt supported. Spencer was there, whether it was helping Shaina with homework, picking up groceries, or just being someone she could vent to at the end of the day. Their relationship was growing steadily, grounded in trust and mutual understanding. One evening, Spencer arrived at Shelly’s house carrying a bouquet of sunflowers. Shaina squealed in delight and ran to greet him, wrapping her small arms around his legs. “For me?” Shaina asked, eyeing the flowers. Spencer laughed and knelt down to her level. “These are actually for your mom. But don’t worry, I brought you something too.” He pulled a small bag of gummy bears from his pocket, and Shaina’s face lit up. Shelly appeared in the doorway, her heart fluttering at the sight of Spencer standing there with sunflowers in one hand and her daughter beaming in the other. It was a moment
The days following Veer’s reappearance were a blur of anxiety and strategizing. Shelly spent hours talking to a lawyer, gathering paperwork, and ensuring she had everything needed to protect Shaina. But through it all, Spencer was a steady presence. He helped with Shaina when Shelly felt too overwhelmed, cooked meals when she forgot to eat, and sat with her late at night when her worries threatened to drown her. It was one of those late nights now. The house was quiet except for the soft hum of the dishwasher. Shaina had fallen asleep hours ago, but Shelly was still up, pacing the living room. Spencer sat on the couch, watching her. “You’re going to wear a hole in the floor,” he said with a small smile. Shelly stopped and looked at him. “I can’t turn my brain off. What if Veer really tries to take her? What if—” “Shelly,” Spencer interrupted, his tone firm but gentle. “You’re a great mom. No court is going to take Shaina away from you. Veer can’t just waltz in here and rewrite hi
Shelly sat at the kitchen table, absently stirring her coffee as her thoughts spiraled. Veer’s sudden reappearance churned up memories she had spent years suppressing—pain, anger, and a profound sense of betrayal. Yet, more than anything, she felt fear. What if he meant what he said? What if he fought for custody? Shaina was her whole world, and she couldn’t bear the thought of Veer disrupting the life they had built. Across the room, Spencer leaned against the counter, watching her closely. He had stayed to make sure she was okay, but Shelly could feel his concern pressing down on her like a weight. “You’re overthinking again,” Spencer said, his voice breaking through her thoughts. Shelly looked up, startled. “I can’t help it. Veer doesn’t make empty threats.” “I gathered that,” Spencer said, crossing his arms. “But you’re not alone in this. You don’t have to handle him by yourself.” She shook her head, letting out a humorless laugh. “I appreciate the sentiment, but you don’t k
Shelly sat on the edge of her bed, her heart still racing from the whirlwind of emotions she had experienced earlier. Spencer's words echoed in her mind: "I like you." It was a confession that held weight, and she didn’t know if she could carry it. Especially when the ghosts of her past, namely Veer, continued to haunt her. Veer. The man who had shattered her world, not just with his betrayal, but with the aftermath it left in her life. She thought of the night she found out—the whispered phone calls, the sudden late hours, the scent of someone else on his clothes. He hadn’t even bothered to deny it. His eyes, cold and detached, had given away his guilt before his lips could. And yet, here she was, years later, trying to rebuild her life. She shook herself free from those thoughts. Now wasn’t the time. The situation with Spencer had already stirred too much confusion. She needed clarity. --- As the morning sunlight poured through the curtains, Shelly was jolted awake by the sou
Shelly POV The warmth of Shaina’s drawing stayed with me throughout the night. It wasn’t just the innocence of her little hands crafting a picture of us with Spencer; it was the way she had unknowingly captured something I wasn’t ready to admit to myself. Spencer had already found a way into her heart. And maybe into mine, too. But shadows have a way of creeping back, even when the light feels strong. I was washing the breakfast dishes the next morning when my phone buzzed on the counter. I dried my hands and picked it up, my heart sinking as I read the name on the screen. Veer. My ex. Shaina’s father. I hesitated for a second before answering, forcing my voice to stay steady. “Hello?” “Shelly.” His voice was smooth, practiced. The same tone he used when he wanted something. “What do you want?” I asked, cutting straight to the point. “Can’t I call to see how my daughter is doing?” “You haven’t called in months,” I shot back. “So, no. I don’t believe that’s why you’re calli
Spencer POVThe gym smelled faintly of rubber mats and cleaning supplies as I finished stacking the chairs from today’s parent orientation. The hum of voices had faded, leaving behind a silence I welcomed.But my mind wasn’t silent. It was loud with thoughts of Shelly.When I’d seen her standing there in the school hallway, her hair pulled back, her eyes guarded yet soft, it had hit me like a freight train. I hadn’t expected her to be here. I hadn’t expected to feel so much just from the sight of her.“Earth to Spencer!”I blinked and turned to see Liz, the school’s volunteer coordinator, smirking at me. Her curly hair was tied in a messy bun, and she held a clipboard against her chest.“You were zoning out,” she said, tilting her head. “Everything okay?”“Yeah, just tired,” I replied, though the lie tasted bitter.Liz didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t push. “Thanks for helping out today. We could use more people like you around here.”“No problem,” I said with a half-smile.As Li
